*Celestia offers a number of deconstructed archyepes.
**She could be one of the *AllMightyBystander trope. Though she sometimes has an understandable reason to do so, she, regardless of why, ends up sitting on the sidelines of a TON crisis, often by choice( often wanting Twilight Sparkle to learn some kind of lesson.) She is shown to have borderline god-like levels of magic power that could easily save the day and avert much struggle, grief, and hardship on top of saving a many lives; yet she refuses to do so, often (but not always) out of a misguided attempt to turn a threat into a lesson for her student. Though the severity of the threats she outsources to the Mane 6 varies and they arguably can handle some of them just find, Celestia taking the unnecessary risk of leaving the more heavy-hitting villains or threats to the Mane 6 despite many of those clearly being outside of their ability to handle alone (at least at first or with out much struggle) shows a server lack of foresight and judgment on her part, as just a single failure on the Mane 6's part at times (which has come very close to happening and the consequences of which have even been shown in the "Cutie Re-mark" to an extent. On principle, standing by while she has all this power is questionable. (its worth noting the IDW comics explained its part of a "Sink-Or-SwimMentor mentality she has and she actually is willing to intervene if all is hopeless, but she has not done so in the series proper many times even when she arguably should have. ) And then there's the fact that a few times when she tried to intervene she was easily taken out for one reason or the other.

* The Changelings are a deconstruction of the AlwaysChaoticEvil trope. Love is a primary part of the Changelings' diet and it sustains them much like how food sustains a pony. The reason why they acted so predatory was because [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil they were deliberately starved and misled by Chrysalis]] into believing that in order to survive, they must steal love from others. Once Starlight reveals a benevolent alternative way to love-feeding through Thorax that is also a much better way of sustaining them, [[TheDogBitesBack the other Changelings quickly turn on Chrysalis and disown her as their leader]], while also making it pretty clear that they're willing to fight back if she ever shows her face again. Furthermore, the Changelings have to deal with FantasticRacism afterward from the other nations because of [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten how predatory they were under Chrysalis' rule]].

Thorax, who became the Changelings' new king after Chrysalis's expulsion, sadly accepts this as a consequence of his predecessor's actions and dedicates his rule to building trust and repairing the relationships his people have with the other nations.

In several episodes though, she's shown to be crippled by fear of failure when stress gets to her, isn't as confident as she projects, and is embarassed for liking nerdy and/or girly things because of her image. A major factor in her CharacterDevelopment over the seasons is her getting over these problems and mellowing out as a result.

He does try and help, but being a Spirit of Chaos means being a TricksterMentor is how he does it (and a later episode does show that not being chaotic would eventually ''kill'' him.) Tirek is able to manipulate him in the first place because he acts affable, considerate, and friendly with Discord while even asking what ''Discord'' wants. So while Celestia says they trusted him too much and overestimated what friendship meant to him, the others outside of Fluttershy did not give much of an attempt to be friends with Discord in the first place and thus Discord fell for Tirek's flattery since he acted more like a friend to him than anyone outside of Fluttershy and even then, seemed more understanding. The trope then gets [[{{Reconstructed}} reconstructed]] as Discord is hit with multiple MyGodWhatHaveIDone moments as Tirek goes on a rampage, and ultimately realizes he ''does'' value friendship with the ponies, and makes a heartfelt apology to them.

Once Starlight reveals a benevolent alternative way to love-feeding through Thorax, Thorax that is also a much better way of sustaining them, the other Changelings quickly turn on Chrysalis and disown her as their leader, while also making it pretty clear that they're willing to fight back if she ever shows her face again.
again. Furthermore, the Changelings have to deal with FantasticRacism afterward from the other nations because of how predatory they had acted before Thorax became the new leader.
* Discorddeconstructs the TokenEvilTeammate. offers a few deconstructions of his own:
** TokenEvilTeammate: Though he was a former villain who underwent a HeelFaceTurn, he only went so far as becoming a WildCard and never actually became good. He was friends with only one of the Mane Six, the others still didn't like or trust him, and he preferred to {{Troll}} and annoy them instead of actually helping them when they sought him out in a crisis (though his trickery does indirectly help Twilight). In the Season 4 finale, with Discord trusted to capture the new villain Tirek, Tirek instead manipulates him into helping him take over Equestria. Celestia even lampshades they trusted Discord too much and overestimated what ThePowerOfFriendship meant to him. It is further deconstructed on Discord's side as well by showing the difficulties in being on a team where you're still suspected ends up damaging the progress made. While Fluttershy is genuinely friends with him, the others don't care too much for him. He does try and help, but being a Spirit of Chaos means being a TricksterMentor is how he does it (and a later episode does show that not being chaotic would eventually ''kill'' him.) Tirek is able to manipulate him in the first place because he acts affable, considerate, and friendly with Discord while even asking what ''Discord'' wants. So while Celestia says they trusted him too much and overestimated what friendship meant to him, the others outside of Fluttershy did not give much of an attempt to be friends with Discord in the first place and thus Discord fell for Tirek's flattery since he acted more like a friend to him than anyone outside of Fluttershy and even then, seemed more understanding. The trope then gets [[{{Reconstructed}} reconstructed]] as Discord is hit with multiple MyGodWhatHaveIDone moments as Tirek goes on a rampage, and ultimately realizes he ''does'' value friendship with the ponies, and makes a heartfelt apology to them.
*Discord also deconstructs TricksterMentor. TricksterMentor: It's clear his lessons for the most part [[DogKickingExcuse are just excuses used to mess with others]] since he's ReformedButNotTamed, as shown in "Three's a Crowd" when he was disappointed his antics didn't ruin Twilight and Cadance's bonding day. Another example is in “What About Discord”, when Discord takes advantage of Twilight having a three day "book-sort-cation" to have a fun weekend with the rest of the Mane 6, and intentionally makes a bunch of inside jokes about it just to make Twilight jealous and driven to tears over having to miss out. Upon Discord’s confession about “teaching Twilight a lesson about jealousy”, the rest of the Mane Six have an InUniverse HarsherInHindsight Moment over the weekend and they get pissed off at being used as tools to make Twilight have an emotional breakdown. This all peaks in the GrandFinale [[spoiler: when it's revealed that he, impersonating Grogar, was the one who [[LegionOfDoom bought the remaining villains together]] to set them up for their defeat at the hooves of Twilight in order to teach her confidence to reassure her she has what it takes to become the next ruler of Equestria. This backfires as it enables the villains to become a genuine threat beyond Discord's ability to keep the situation under control and causes Twilight to lose said confidence [[WasItAllALie and believe her accomplishments were all staged]]. While the scheme was sincerely well-intentioned, none of the main characters, not even Fluttershy, are willing to forgive him until he risks his life to save them because of how badly the whole thing screwed everybody over]].

** Twilight Sparkle resembles a common [[TheSmartGirl Smart Girl]] protagonist, but her intellect and no-nonsense behaviour are exaggerated to the point of being a SuperOCD perfectionist prone to mental breakdowns over the smallest slight, meaning she is just as often reliant on her friends' support as being the OnlySaneMan to arguments.
** Rainbow Dash, at first, is the typical blustery tomboy show-off stock for girl's shows. In several episodes though, she's shown to be crippled by fear of failure when stress gets to her, isn't as confident as she projects, and is embarassed for liking nerdy and/or girly things because of her image. A major factor in her CharacterDevelopment over the seasons is her getting over these problems and mellowing out as a result.
** Pinkie Pie deconstructs the PluckyComicRelief by often taking her comedy to genuinely obnoxious and even hurtful levels, and because she is intensely emotionally dependent on people liking her, especially her friends. Any comedian will tell you how dangerously addictive making others laugh can be.
** The episode "Too Many Pinkie Pies" also deconstructs Pinkie's FunPersonified GenkiGirl nature. In order to have more time for fun with her friends, she clones herself. Unfortunately the clones are Flanderised versions of her, with none of her tact or compassion for her friends. The army of clones have no other goal than mindless fun and end up causing havoc and destruction.

** Discord deconstructs the TokenEvilTeammate. Though he was a former villain who underwent a HeelFaceTurn, he only went so far as becoming a WildCard and never actually became good. He was friends with only one of the Mane Six, the others still didn't like him, and he preferred to {{Troll}} and annoy them instead of actually helping them when they sought him out in a crisis (though his trickery does indirectly help Twilight). In the Season 4 finale, with Discord trusted to capture the new villain Tirek, Tirek instead manipulates him into helping him take over Equestria. Celestia even lampshades they trusted Discord too much and overestimated what ThePowerOfFriendship meant to him. It is further deconstructed on Discord's side as well by showing the difficulties in being on a team where you're still suspected ends up damaging the progress made. While Fluttershy is genuinely friends with him, the others don't care too much for him. He does try and help, but being a Spirit of Chaos means being a TricksterMentor is how he does it (and a later episode does show that not being chaotic would eventually ''kill'' him.) Tirek is able to manipulate him in the first place because he acts affable, considerate, and friendly with Discord while even asking what ''Discord'' wants. So while Celestia says they trusted him too much and overestimated what friendship meant to him, the others outside of Fluttershy did not give much of an attempt to be friends with Discord in the first place and thus Discord fell for Tirek's flattery since he acted more like a friend to him than anyone outside of Fluttershy and even then, seemed more understanding. The trope then gets reconstructed as Discord is hit with multiple MyGodWhatHaveIDone moments as Tirek goes on a rampage, and ultimately realizes he ''does'' value friendship with the ponies, and makes a heartfelt apology to them.
** Discord also deconstructs TricksterMentor. It's clear his lessons [[DogKickingExcuse are just excuses used to mess with others]] since he's ReformedButNotTamed, as shown in "Three's a Crowd" when he was disappointed his antics didn't ruin Twilight and Cadance's bonding day. Another example is in “What About Discord”, when Discord takes advantage of Twilight having a three day "book-sort-cation" to have a fun weekend with the rest of the Mane 6, and intentionally makes a bunch of inside jokes about it just to make Twilight jealous and driven to tears over having to miss out. Upon Discord’s confession about “teaching Twilight a lesson about jealousy”, the rest of the Mane Six have an InUniverse FunnyAneurysmMoment over the weekend and they get pissed off at being used as tools to make Twilight have an emotional breakdown. This all peaks in the GrandFinale [[spoiler: when it's revealed that he, impersonating Grogar, was the one who [[LegionOfDoom bought the remaining villains together]] to set them up for their defeat at the hooves of Twilight in order to teach her confidence to reassure her she has what it takes to become the next ruler of Equestria. This backfires as it enables the villains to become a genuine threat beyond Discord's ability to keep the situation under control and causes Twilight to lose said confidence [[WasItAllALie and believe her accomplishments were all staged]]. While the scheme was sincerely well-intentioned, none of the main characters, not even Fluttershy, are willing to forgive him until he risks his life to save them because of how badly the whole thing screwed everybody over]].

Added DiffLines:
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' is fond of deconstructing common cartoon character archetypes:
** Twilight Sparkle resembles a common [[TheSmartGirl Smart Girl]] protagonist, but her intellect and no-nonsense behaviour are exaggerated to the point of being a SuperOCD perfectionist prone to mental breakdowns over the smallest slight, meaning she is just as often reliant on her friends' support as being the OnlySaneMan to arguments.
** Rainbow Dash, at first, is the typical blustery tomboy show-off stock for girl's shows. In several episodes though, she's shown to be crippled by fear of failure when stress gets to her, isn't as confident as she projects, and is embarassed for liking nerdy and/or girly things because of her image. A major factor in her CharacterDevelopment over the seasons is her getting over these problems and mellowing out as a result.
** Pinkie Pie deconstructs the PluckyComicRelief by often taking her comedy to genuinely obnoxious and even hurtful levels, and because she is intensely emotionally dependent on people liking her, especially her friends. Any comedian will tell you how dangerously addictive making others laugh can be.
** The episode "Too Many Pinkie Pies" also deconstructs Pinkie's FunPersonified GenkiGirl nature. In order to have more time for fun with her friends, she clones herself. Unfortunately the clones are Flanderised versions of her, with none of her tact or compassion for her friends. The army of clones have no other goal than mindless fun and end up causing havoc and destruction. It shows that a one-dimensional GenkiGirl or FunPersonified character would be horrible to deal with in real life, if they don't have the good sense and compassion to counter balance some of their wackier traits.
** Lightning Dust is a deconstructions of TheUnfettered. As Spitfire notes, Lightning regularly pushes herself to the limit in order to improve her flying skills. But this attitude also makes her reckless in her determination to reach new heights, even willing to do dangerous things that might endanger others.
** The Changelings are a deconstruction of the AlwaysChaoticEvil trope. Love is a primary part of the Changelings' diet and it sustains them much like how food sustains a pony. The reason why they acted so predatory was because they were deliberately starved and misled by Chrysalis into believing that in order to survive, they must steal love from others. Once Starlight reveals a benevolent alternative way to love-feeding through Thorax, the other Changelings quickly turn on Chrysalis and disown her as their leader, while also making it pretty clear that they're willing to fight back if she ever shows her face again.
** Cozy Glow is a deconstruction of the ChildProdigy and WiseBeyondTheirYears. A ''kid'', [[TheAce Cozy Glow]] is ''very'' ambitious, creative, intelligent, ''definitely'' dreams big, and knows just how to help others, to the point where she becomes Princess Twilight's assistant at the School of Friendship. Normally you'd expect her to be destined to achieve recognition and have a bright future ahead of her... if it weren't for the fact that she's an [[EnfantTerrible evil and power-hungry]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] who uses her many talents and capabilities for attempts at taking over Equestria, mostly via [[ManipulativeBitch manipulation]] and [[TheChessmaster careful planning]]. Plus, while it wouldn't be unreasonable for someone her age to be scared of "monsters in the closet", Cozy, on her part, willingly teams up with Lord Tirek and Queen Chrysalis, even trying to establish ''EvilerThanThou'' on them more than once.
